  5. Ca hoi nuong Net +1
    “Onto our main dishes, I was in the mood for seafood and I ordered ‘Ca Hoi Nuong’: this perfectly grilled salmon glazed with miso sauce served with jasmine steamed rice and crispy papaya salad was so harmonious to munch away. Loved the slight char and sweetness of the miso, the fish was succulent and I have a serious addiction of their papaya salad, okay 🫣.”

  11. Matcha tiramisu Net +1
    “Next up ‘Matcha Tiramisu’: yes, I am a matcha “girlie” and yes I do love having “grass” 😂. But this matcha cake layered dessert with whipped cream tasted much better than we thought! My sister who doesn’t enjoy matcha quite liked this, so I guess that’s a win-win. Loved the contrasting flavours of the subtle matcha with the fluffly cream- it wasn’t overly sweet and you can taste everything as is 💚.”
  12. Mint limeade Net +1
    “I chose the ‘Mint Limeade’: my first sip of this must have summer blend reminded me of how my mom used to make her version of lemon juice. Absolutely loved this! Simple and zesty!”
  13. Mixed platter Net +1
    “For our appetisers we chose their ‘Mixed Platter’: consisting of fresh and delicious combinations of east asia’s most favourite.”
  14. Pho bo tai Net +1
    “‘Pho Bo Tai’: a hearty bowl of soft beef tenderloin pho deliciously cooked for 14-hours and served with soft rice noodles along with some herbs, sprouts and spring onions. This authentic pho just warms your heart and soul with the first spoonful 👌🏻. Simple yet wholesome!”

  17. Tau hu Net +1
    “To end our dinner on a sweet note, we tried ‘Tau Hu’: a vietnamese dessert staple made of soft tofu topped with mango purée with a light sprinkle of sesame. We loved this way too much- it tasted amazing, the texture felt like custard and the mango 🥭 gave the perfect sweetness to a dessert that wasn’t sweet at all.”
  18. Tofu skin dish Net +1
    “We tried the tofu skin dish which was exceptional.”
  19. Vegan curry with tofu Net +1

Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

Light broth

One diner found the pho soup base far too light and unlike a traditional pho broth, with disappointing beef brisket.

Chicken pho

A review found the chicken pho unpleasantly strong-smelling and inedible, although the beef pho was decent.

The Bottom Line

Vietnamese Foodies Creek Harbour is a relaxed Vietnamese restaurant in Dubai Creek Harbour, with outdoor seating overlooking the creek. Reviews make beef pho the clearest recurring draw, alongside grilled duck, dynamite shrimp and fresh spring rolls. There is enough variety for mixed groups too, including vegan curry, tofu dishes and vegan fried rice.

The setting is a major part of the visit. Diners describe the venue as cozy, serene and spacious, while outdoor tables bring views of boats, sunsets and, according to one review, the Burj. Service is often described as warm, attentive and helpful, especially when staff explain unfamiliar dishes to first-time Vietnamese diners.

Families are covered as well: one reviewer said pho was the only noodles their son would eat. Value sounds generally reasonable, with one vegetarian meal of papaya tofu salad, vegan fried rice and vegan curry reported at 115 AED for two. Underground parking is convenient; look for pillar 37.

A few cautions are worth keeping in mind: one diner found the broth too light, another disliked the chicken pho, and a separate review said pho cooled too quickly. The menu has also changed, so check availability if you have your heart set on a particular dish.
